Pexeso

Drawing paper has dimensions of 60cm and 840mm. Pupils have to divide it into squares so that they can make a pexeso. What dimension must squares have if their side is to be larger than 3cm and less than 10cm?

Result

x1 =  60 mm
x2 =  40 mm

Solution:

x2=y/3=120/3=40=40  mm x_{ 2 } = y/3 = 120/3 = 40 = 40 \ \text{ mm }
